Sounds like a good plan to me...

I found that part of the article quite sad, I think it says a lot about our society when the thought of leaving something unlocked is deemed entrapment.AndyCarolan said:I understand about the point of it being considered entrapment but just because something is poorly locked (or unlocked), it doesn't mean that you can take it.
So I was out on Tuesday night, came out of the nightclub fairly the
worse for drink, and didn't really want to walk home. Because of this,
I looked around the bikes that were left outside the club, and found one
unlocked. I took it, cycled home, and on the way was stopped by a
police car.

When drunk I've often not wanted to walk home, so I've got a taxi/sucked it up and walked home anyway. The idea of 'borrowing' a bike would never even cross my mind, because it's stealing. And then this twat writes about it so casually, like it's such a normal thing to do.
